About

My research focuses on Shakespeare and Renaissance literature. In 2017/18 I will be on leave, holding research fellowships at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Huntington Library, and the Folger Shakespeare Library. My book project, currently nearing completion, offers an account of the relationship between counsel and subjectivity in the context of early modern English drama. I have also begun work on a new research project, tentatively entitled Shakespeare and the End of Editing.

My article "The Mobile Queen: Observing Hecuba in Renaissance Europe" is forthcoming in Renaissance Drama, and I have recently completed a chapter on tragedy, city, and nation for A Cultural History of Tragedy in the Early Modern Age, to be published by Bloomsbury. The results of my research on the editing of Beaumont and Fletcher in the eighteenth century appear in the current volume of The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America. In 2016, I co-produced an edition of the first Kajkavian translation from Shakespeare, for which I also wrote an essay on translation and the aesthetics of miniature. My essays have appeared in collections such as The Quest for Cardenio: Shakespeare, Fletcher, and the Lost Play (OUP, 2012), Postcolonial Shakespeare (Edizioni di storia e letteratura, 2009), Shakespeare and War (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008), and Shakespeare in Europe (Jagiellonian UP, 2008). My first book, published in 2007, is devoted to Renaissance sonnet sequences and the issue of transtextuality; my second book, published in 2010, studies the relationship between book history and performance studies in foreign-Shakespeare contexts. In recent years I have also published a series of articles in various scholarly journals dealing with topics in book history and manuscript studies, especially in connection with the literary culture of the Ragusan Republic. At Stanford, I direct a digital humanities project The Manuscript Networks of the Ragusan Republic (1358-1808), supported by the Denning Fund for Humanities and Technologies.
